I'm a beginner with bootstrap and I have seen a lot of bootstrap 3 form validation plugins etc, but I haven't found any for bootstrap 4.
I'm trying to validate multiple forms, and here is my code:
<!-- Contact -->
<div class="container white">
<div class="row">
<div class="container white percent100">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="padder-t2">
<h1>Contact</h1>
<div class="horiz-divider"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row padder-t padder-b">
<div class="container white">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<!-- Form -->
<form class="form-horizontal" action=" " method="post" id="contact_form">
<fieldset>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<label class="control-label pull-right"><h4>First Name</h4></label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4 inputGroupContainer">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-user"></i></span>
<input id="firstname" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name" class="form-control" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<label class="control-label pull-right"><h4>Last Name</h4></label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4 inputGroupContainer">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-user"></i></span>
<input id="lastname" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name" class="form-control" type="text">

</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4">

</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text area -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<label class="control-label pull-right"><h4>Message</h4></label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-lg-5 inputGroupContainer">

<textarea id="comment" class="form-control" name="comment" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Success message -->
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert" id="success_message">Success <i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i> Thanks for contacting us, we will get back to you shortly.</div>
<!-- Button -->
<div class="form-group">

</div>
</div>
<div class="row padder-b">
<div class="row col-lg-12">
<div class="col-md-3 col-lg-3"></div>
<h4 class="col-md-9 col-lg-9">Contact us directly:</h4>

<div class="row col-lg-12">

<h4 class="col-md-2 col-lg-2 padder-lr">Mail:</h4>
<a class="col-md-6 col-lg-6 padder-lr" href="mailto:[email protected]">
<h4 id="mail">[email protected]</h4>
</a>
</div>
<div class="row col-lg-12">
<div class="col-md-3 col-lg-3"></div>
<h4 class="col-md-2 col-lg-2 padder-lr">Adress:</h4>
<h4 class="col-md-6 col-lg-6 padder-lr" id="adress">2 LoremIpsum Road, 67000 City - Country</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>I have tried to modify existing js, but I had no luck.
Here is the rendered form:
First I solved my issue with an external library like Jonathan Dion suggested. But recently I came across this :
Bootstrap v4.0 introduced their own form validation that you can still pair with backend php validation. From the Doc :
<form class="needs-validation" novalidate>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-4 mb-3">
<label for="validationCustom01">First name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationCustom01" placeholder="First name" value="Mark" required>
<div class="valid-feedback">
Looks good!
</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">
Doesn't look good!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then using JS :
<script>
// Example starter JavaScript for disabling form submissions if there are invalid fields
(function() {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
// Fetch all the forms we want to apply custom Bootstrap validation styles to
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('needs-validation');
// Loop over them and prevent submission
var validation = Array.prototype.filter.call(forms, function(form) {
form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
form.classList.add('was-validated');
}, false);
});
}, false);
})();
</script>
This provides input border colorating and displays the valid / invalid feedback blocks according to the given pattern or properties. It is applied via CSS’s two pseudo-classes, :invalid and :valid. It applies to <input>, <select>, and <textarea> elements.
